Abstract (en)

A piloting device for piloting an aircraft, comprising a piloting member (11) suitable for being actuated by a pilot; a mechanism (13) for mounting and guiding in rotation the piloting member (11) about at least one rotation axis (15, 16) with respect to a frame (12); at least one force sensor (19) connected between the piloting member (11) and the mechanism (13) comprising at least one sensing element (30, 31) configured to produce a signal upon deformation indicative of a force applied to the piloting member (11); wherein the force sensor comprises at least one pair of bearing surfaces (32, 33); at least one pair of stops (25, 26) configured to limit the angular amplitude of rotation of the piloting member with respect to the frame on abutment of the at least one pair of bearing surfaces with at least one pair of stops; wherein at least one of the stops (25, 26) and/or at least one of the bearing surfaces (32, 33) comprises a compliant material.
